Spring Classes!

I just registered for my Spring classes! I am taking:

Ethics for Paralegals

and

Organizing and Analyzing Evidence

I cannot wait for the evidence class. I am so excited.

And the ethics class is only 1 credit, and is only 3 sessions. So, I'm going to find a legal aid society to volunteer at so I can A) get experience for a future resume and B) parlay this volunteering into my Paralegal Internship class I will be taking in the Summer quarter. I'm going to start investigating the volunteering now so after classes get out on 03/15/08, I can start. For the internship, I only need 3 hours a week, so I'm going to see about what I can do. I would love to work with the legal aid society and help out the people who can't afford it. Oh god I'm becoming so fucking liberal. Next I'll become a vegan and stop using deodorant.

Oh! And I forgot to ask - are you interested in moving back to the US and going into our legal system? Or are you interested in working in the legal system in the Netherlands? I'm curious.

Oh goodness, I'm too tired to do a JD. LOL. Maybe be a paralegal but not a lawyer. A lot of my friends from my Indonesian university are doing JDs now but I'm paranoid about American law schools!

You can go to school to become a paralegal here in the US...that's what I'm doing. Although [livejournal.com profile] iron_chef_gein maintains that he will get me to go to law school before he dies. So we'll see how successful he is. :)
